Whether your favorite character is Dave or Kevin or Donny or John, Minions are so popular.  This tutorial will show you how to make these cute little guys to place on your cupcakes.

This is what I used:

Fondant (white, black, grey and yellow)
rolling pin
knife
large round cutter
medium round cutter (not shown)
small round cutter
piping tip #10
Gum glue (not in the photo)

Step 4:

Using the grey fondant, roll it out to 1/8 inch thickness and using the medium cutter make a cut. Then using the small round cutter place the cutter in the middle of the grey circle and make a cut.

Step 5:

Taking the outer part of the grey circle fondant piece you just cut, place it onto the edge of the white round circle. Press around the edges to join the pieces. If your round circle gets out of shape, take the medium round cutter again and make another clean cut.
